Why should social media companies know more about you than your closest friends?
Drop by one of our Get Set! Privacy Clinics to enjoy refreshments, some company, and a bit of dedicated space and time to review and protect your digital privacy. Come for privacy setting recommendations and resources, tips on the key things to know about privacy policies and for the chance to really focus on this important issue so often overlooked – your personal information and privacy. You just need to bring your device (and maybe your closest friend)!
The Get Set! Drop In Privacy Clinics will be focusing on social media privacy settings, and how to limit how much of your personal information is shared and collected. We’ll also share resources on more general digital privacy topics too!
